Bob Ross tributes seem like a pure nostalgia play. But Adobe has put together a fun, modern homage to the late TV painter with a series of videos—approved by the Ross camp—in which an illustrator shows off Adobe’s Photoshop Sketch digital painting app via tutorials done in the folksy style of the man himself.
Children’s book illustrator Chad Cameron plays Ross, and he does a great job of capturing the late painter’s charming quirks—afro, “happy little clouds” and all.
Check out the four videos, created by Lekker Media, below.
In all the “Joy of Sketching” project is a great way to celebrate the TV painter while highlighting the power, precision and creative potential of Adobe Photoshop Sketch on the iPad Pro for a new generation of creatives and artists.
